Sugar Painting:
\nThis traditional and edible form of art uses melted sugar as paint to create figures before the sugar hardens. The \u201cpainter\u201d uses the brown or white sugar as the raw material, a metal spoon shovel as the paintbrush, and the slab of marble as the “paper”.<\/p>\n

Dough Figurine:
\nBeautifully colored and traditionally edible, dough figurines are especially loved by children. Today\u2019s dough figurines have become pieces of art to be collected and admired rather then things to be displayed at temple fairs.<\/p>\n

Creative Calligraphy:
\nAn art form with symbols. It is through the flying, dancing strokes of the characters that the calligrapher expresses a rhythm, a direction of energy, and an image of ink in motion. It is to express the fast and slow, light and heavy, dense and sparse, long and short, and the timing felt within the heart of the calligrapher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
